Messerschmitt BF109 GB 2012

is that an older boxing of the hase 109?

still finishing the decals. will upload pics tonight. 

Progressing on the Hasegawa 109.  The only fit problem was on the bottom of the cowl.

More pics to come

Cool Doogs, never seen that marking before and I bet it has a really good time piece in it.

Well...not going to get started for a few days yet, probably, but I got the Airfix kit soaked and ready to go today.

And I'm finally ready to reveal the markings. Swiss Neutrality!

That's gonna be some fun masking...

does any one make a canopy for revells G-10? the kit canopy is total crap. theres a large gap. 

 

               It's kind of spendy but looks pretty cool check this link,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Donner Sie!! That's more for a canopy than my kit cost!

Just a quick update... I've given up on aquiring a new Revell Bf109G, so I'll be doing the CLASSIC Revell Bf109G in 1/32 scale..

decaling at the moment. these hasegawa decals are setting very well.

Thanks Handi, the cockpit I used is MDCs resin set. Where is the Gap in your canopy? Are you posing it open?

    It was Randy with the canopy problems,,,,,but yeah I'm gonna have mine open to make up for having to seal the motor up,,, should be posting some pics of it done soon,,,just picked up a Eduard 1/32 LE either E- 4 or 7 that I'm gonna dive into next    just having too good of a time with this GB to only make one,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

                                                       The saga continues.......................

closed canopy. 

RLM23 band then hit with RLM76

future coat later on then decals.

Does Squadron make a vacuform one? The Erla canopy shouldn't be too hard to deal with. Or have you considered robbing one from a Hasegawa kit. Some boxings contain both an Erla and the three piece canopy. I'd send you one but It looks like I dont' have any left.

          I'm not sure any of the squadron ones would work for the revell ,,, mabye a bit of tinkering?  Nathan I loved the cockpit shots of your bird!  It motivated me to add the fuel line in mine,,was yours oob or aftermarket,,either way looks great!!  Can't wait to see more progress bud!

hmmm. i may just call up revell for a new canopy. looks like it had mold problems.

as long as your happy with your work, that's all that matters. 

Doogs- the hase F-4 literally builds itself. only thing i opted for was aftermarket decals. 

i was going to snag eduards 1/48 E-1 today but snagged a hase's new reboxed Mk.IIc hurricane. been looking for one for awhile.  E-1 next on the list. 

                                            Have you heard anything about the Eduard Balkans L E 1/32 kit ?  Was thinkin of takin the plunge on it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Geez Handi, wish I could have my paint turn out like that! Ok just as a heads up my models are ok, so no need to think your dealing with a fellow pro, more like a guy who just has fun building these things. 

Though I can say my models would take first place if I compete against those in elementary school...

                        Thanks for the kind words all around guys!!    Here is some more weathering done,,, be adding the canopy and a few more odds and ends ,,,,gettin there,,( Herman had the day off ) 

                                                                Thanks for lookin!!

Welcome aboard!

Been following along and really digging the great work on display so far, enough in fact to finally pull the trigger on a 1/48 Zvezda F-2 (yeah, I know it's not a bipe, but there was a time when 109's were all I built, and it looks like the bug has bit me again). The reviews I've read made it too nice a kit to pass on, so instead of my original entry, I'll be building the Zvezda kit (markings TBD).

Spruebrothers shows it has one Cyber-Hobby 109E-4 in it's current inventory. 

I'd snag it but already have Trump's version in the stash.  I remember this review pointing out three major inaccuracies, but claim they can be easily fixed.  Review

regards,

Jack

32nd wise, hasegawa wins with their F-4 trop. beautiful kit. 

Got that basterd on my "hunt list" for ModelFiesta tomorrow! 32nd scale's usually hit or miss at the shows I've been to, but knowing my intention to get in and out with only a few purchases, they'll probably end up having every single one I'm looking for (109F-4, 190D-9, Ki-84, P-40N...)

Handi- you seem to be making a decent model out of the Trumpy kit anyway. Plugin away on my G-10. Decals came the other day from Poland...Long wait...and I'm about ready to attach canopy and prime. Here's the latest shot with all the goodies including Eagle Cals resin spinner and Eduard Masks. Anyone know if the G-10 had the battery box protruding on the rear bulkhead? I know the G-14 did and any 109 with the MW-50 water methanol injection did, but my refs are poor as far as G-10 cockpits go...Randy are you leaving yours on?

Looked around for the Cyber model but the ones going for a good deal were sold out.. Ordered up a Trumpeter 1/32 BF109E.. Comes with all the goodies too!

 

The Tamiya model is pretty much done now, when I get a chance I will post a pic. 

 

 

 

 

                                             Hope yours ends up being better than mine my friend... the Trump kit I am building isn't horrible,,,,but very puttsy,,I digress to the nerve damaged hands that I have,,,,If you end up getting the cowls to fit let me know how ,,, I screwed with it a long time...... typical for this aircraft ,,,either way look forward to seeing it come along,,,,

Well I hope it turns out as nice as yours. Might have to send Herman my way to give me a hand. If Im going to detail the engine which I will it will be cowl open for me.

Cyber-Hobby's E4. Less than the Eduards. Most accurate in shape. Arguably the best detailed. Apparently good fit. 

Thanks Doogs!
